Description

The Croft, Croft House, and West Croft are two houses that have been combined into three separate residences. They date from the late 18th century and early 19th century, with some additions and alterations made in the mid-19th century and early 20th century. The buildings are constructed of red brick with painted stone dressings and feature slate and 20th-century concrete tile roofs, along with brick gable and ridge stacks and dentilled eaves bands.

The Croft, located to the south, is two storeys high and has three bays. The two northern bays are from the early 19th century, while the recessed southern bay is a later addition. The main garden elevation displays two glazing bar sash windows under wedge lintels in the northern bays and a later window in the southern bay. Above, there are two similar sashes to the north and a triangular oriel timber window to the south. The rear elevation facing the street has various later additions.

Croft House, positioned in the centre, is three storeys tall and has two bays. Its garden elevation features a three-storey canted bay to the north with a wide glazing bar sash under a plain lintel on the ground floor, and a 20th-century conservatory to the south that covers an original moulded doorcase and another glazing bar sash. Above, there are two glazing bar sashes, one to the south with a wedge lintel and one in the bay with a plain lintel. There are also two smaller similar windows above. The interior includes a notable stick baluster staircase with scrolled cheekpieces and a wreathed handrail.

West Croft, located to the north, is three storeys at the rear and two storeys at the front, featuring two bays with a later single bay addition to the north. The main elevation has a moulded doorcase with a panelled door and a divided overlight to the south, along with a large tripartite glazing bar sash in a two-storey bow to the north. There are C20 double glazed doors beyond to the north. Above, there is a C20 casement window, with a large sash similar to that below in the bow, and a single glazing bar sash over the door beneath a wedge lintel.
